Personal Needs All preschool participants must be potty trained prior to the beginning of the school year. Please note: For the health and safety of all concerned, the children must be able to handle their own bathroom needs, i.e., belts, zippers, buckles, wiping, etc. Please dress your child in “user friendly” clothing. To help avoid accidents, please have your child use the washroom prior to the start of their class time. Pull-ups are not allowed. Children who are noticably wearing pullups will be asked to leave the program. Preschool Screening Preschool screening is available through all area elementary school districts. Please contact your school district for more information. Orland Park is within School District 135. This is of great importance for families concerned with their child’s development. Progress Reports In May, a detailed progress report will be sent home. Due to the number of students enrolled in the Preschool Program, individual Parent/Teacher conferences are not possible. However, parents are encouraged to discuss concerns with the teachers anytime throughout the year. • Parents are reminded not to allow children to bring gum, candy, toys or money to class. • All cell phones should be silenced while in the Preschool facility. • No weapons of any kind are allowed at school; real or pretend; this also applies to Halloween costumes too.
